SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER Quick Setup Instructions The following instructions are a quick overview of the steps necessary to install your new amplifier. For more detailed instructions, please refer to the sections in the manual that are referenced below. Remove the amplifier from its package (for package contents, see “Unpacking Your Amplifier”...
Page 14 SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER Placing/Mounting the Amplifier The TA0.1 can be custom mounted for use in a variety of applications. By utilizing the pre-drilled holes in the mounting plate and the Remote Control, the user can mount the amplifier to almost any surface that provides 1) access to the Remote Control, 2) access to the Input/Output Panel and the AC Panel, 3) adequate ventilation for the amplifier, and 4) the ability to remove the amplifier or the Remote Control for servicing should that become necessary.
Page 15 SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER Initial Settings Prior to Making Connections CAUTION: Before connecting any wires or input/output lines, insure all equipment is off and no signals are being sent from the input device. In order to reduce the chances of accidentally damaging the amplifier or transducer, please set the amplifier controls to the safety positions described and shown below: •...
Page 16: Connecting The Audio Source
SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER Connecting the Audio Source HOME THEATER There are several different ways to hook up your system in terms of which source material (signal) is delivered to the amplifier(s) and transducer(s). Since our inception, we have discovered that approximately half of our customers prefer using the LFE/SUB signal with their transducers.
Page 17 SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER Right Front (RF) and Left Front (LF) Hookup For this hookup, connect the RF and LF Pre-Amp Outputs to the TA0.1 amplifier inputs. NOTE: Not all receivers have Pre-Amp outputs for the Right Front and Left Front outputs. If you have a question about your receiver’s outputs, please consult your owner’s manual or contact your receiver’s manufacturer.
Page 18 SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER Connecting the Transducer to the Amplifier If you are able to locate the amplifier within 3 feet of the transducer (3 ft. is the approximate length of the speaker wire attached to the transducer), connect the transducer wires directly to the amplifier. This can be done by unscrewing the wire binding posts, inserting the wire through the hole in the post and then retightening the binding posts (see photo on this page).
Page 19 SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER Using the Powered Loop-Through to Run Multiple Transducers The TA0.1 has powered loop-through. This feature enables the user to take the signal from an audio source and pass it to a series of TA0.1 amplifiers in order to drive multiple transducers. The drawing for this type of hookup is shown below.
Page 20: Operating Your Amplifier
OPERATING YOUR AMPLIFIER Balancing the Transducer with the Subwoofer For Home Theater installations, once you have properly set up your amplifier, it is important to take time to balance the transducer and subwoofer sound. The volume of the transducer is controlled by the receiver and will rise or fall in direct proportion to that of the primary speakers.
Page 21 OPERATING YOUR AMPLIFIER If you are using the LFE/SUB signal as your input for the transducer, insure the is set to “Low Pass” (see photo #4) and the Crossover Control on the TA0.1 is set to 400 Hz (photo #5). If you are using the RF/LF signal, set the switch to “Bypass.”...
